I just got back from deployment #4 yesterday. It proved to be a busy one; not only were operations fierce, but I finally got to sell my timeshare over there (anyone want beach-front property with no nearby water?). It’s great to be reunited with wife and kid. It’s great to know that if I go [...]Read Full Article →

My Old Man was at a Texas A&M Alumni barbeque back in August. He ended up bumping into Jackie Sherrill, the Aggies’ head football coach from 1982 to 1988. Ironically, he was the head coach of Mississippi State from 1991 until his retirement in 2003. I say “ironically” because in 2001/2002, I was stationed at [...]Read Full Article →

Air Force may have lost to #20 ranked Utah by a touchdown (in the final minute of the game), but in my mind it’s chalked up as a win. Why? Going back to preseason (my thoughts here), never did I think they would do as well as they’re doing. Of course I expected a win [...]Read Full Article →

Thank God for College Football season!!! It’s just too bad I’ll only be here for the first half of it.
The 2007 Air Force football season was a surprisingly good one (when compared to the previous four or five). It also showed that new coach Troy Calhoun could lead a team to a winning season (9-4 and [...]Read Full Article →

Usually when you mention Academy football to people, I think maybe “underdog” summarizes what pops into peoples’ minds… and if you disagree with that statement, when was the last time your put Air Force in the same category as Ohio State, USC or LSU? Believe or not though, Air Force has been a pretty competitive team in [...]Read Full Article →

I missed many of the great games of week 13 for college football because I was on a cruise ship with extremely limited TV channels. That being said, I was able to catch most of the huge upset that Texas A&M brought to Texas: congrats on the win Dad. Hell, I even got a picture [...]Read Full Article →

It’s been a hectic 4 weeks. Toward the end of my two “home” weeks that I had in October, it was mayhem… mainly consumed by the Army dining out (which only the official “Air Force Ball” at Wright-Patt AFB touched) and a missed trip to Minneapolis (for Wiley’s wedding) where I lost about $300 for [...]Read Full Article →

Air Force has pulled out 2 straight wins now. I’ll admit, not against Top-25 teams or anything. UNLV is a team AFA can typically beat, and Colorado State (this past Saturday) came into the game 0-5, so I would’ve been disappointed if the Falcons would have lost. Looks like Colorado State continues their “defeated” season. [...]Read Full Article →

While it is true that Air Force football surprised a lot of people by sprinting out of the gates beating two tough teams, it seems as though they are starting the ever-so-familiar trend: winning up-front and losing it in the back-stretch. If there was any year that the Air Force had the momentum to beat [...]Read Full Article →

Perhaps it was too good to be true, an Air Force team that would walk away 4-0 after being the severe underdog for three straight games. This weekend BYU seemed to have a can of whoop-ass with Air Force’s name all over it, beating them 31-6 in Utah. That defeat for the Air Force was [...]Read Full Article →
